It takes vision, focus, and hard work to take a diamond in the rough and see what the future can hold for it!

Again, I really don't think there's a wrong answer on this list, because I know people are moving to other TN markets too, but I feel like Chattanooga is one of those cities that's a diamond in the rough and hasn't reached the stage of being overgrown, like a lot of Nashville locals feel has happened to Nashville.

It takes some time to go through the list but you can find a diamond in the ruff for sure and it’s not listed on MLS.  

Has anyone bought the overages blue print by Bob Diamond?

For reference, the LVP bid was about $6.15 / sqft installed.For $6.15sqft I can get the best HW floor co to do the best full sanding, best re-stain, best 3 coat poly with diamond coat which is basically gorilla glass for floors including warrantied against pet claws.

Too me it was a diamond  in the rough needing plumbing , hvac , electric , wall and just about every thing else .

Different markets aside, if there are other hungry buyers out there and you have a diamond in the rough, then you gotta do what you gotta do.This is a very flexible arrangement in these situations.

I totally agree what you said, as a starter, not easy to find a diamond in nyc market.

I find "diamonds who are still coal" and work on them.  

I am hoping to find a diamond in the rough that needs some repairs, hopefully resulting in some built in equity.
